In Treasury’s War: The Unleashing of a New Era of Financial Warfare, he details how a small group of officials have used the Treasury to apply financial pressure against America’s enemies and play critical role in the geopolitical challenges facing the United States, including terrorism, nuclear proliferation, and the regimes in Iran, North Korea and Syria.

How does the Treasury monitor that network of "bankers" that Al-Quada was using prior to and after 9/11, where all monies were hand delivered, handled by store owner, if I remember correctly, and no real records were maintained?

Of course some banks will try to illegally get business from Iran or North Korea if they think they can get away with it. These rogue regimes will pay a big premium to get access to financing, of course. It's a big risk. Such bankers should be considered like spies and traitors, and treated accordingly.
